When Kenzee and Addy Knight talk about what they did this summer, they'll most certainly include their experience competing at the 2017 State Games of America in Grand Rapids. The girls not only competed but came home with their first State Games medals.

Thornapple Kellogg Schools will send three Odyssey of the Mind teams to the World Competition at Michigan State University in May including one of the teams from Page Elementary! One team from the high school, one from the middle school and one from elementary each earned the right to advance by getting a first or second rating at the state finals Saturday hosted at TK.

Congratulations to Shelby Robinett and Jessie Drenten as the Page Elementary Spelling Bee champion and runner-up.
